Also, there will be a few surprises in store for audiences on these days.

“CBC Vancouver's Musical Nooners continues to draw large crowds, music fans who unite to celebrate summer,” says Johnny Michel, senior managing director, CBC British Columbia and Alberta. “By adding in some special themed performances this year, we hope to say thank you to the community who has supported these concerts for so many seasons."
